what is known as sangam literature - #25898
I am struggling to understand this whole thing about sangam literature. I recently started reading some poems from ancient Tamil texts because my friend said they’re beautiful and rich in history. But honestly, I’m a bit lost. Like, what is known as sangam literature exactly? I read that it involves collections of poems from poets called Alwars and Nayanars, or something? My research led me to think it’s from this ancient era, but then I found timelines that confused me even more! I feel like the more I read, the less I know! There are also mentions of love, heroism, and nature in these poems which sound amazing, but do they relate to local culture or just... emotions or what? It’s frustrating that I didn’t get a clear answer on what is known as sangam literature anywhere. Plus, I heard it was influenced by different regional dialects, which adds to the mix. Am I on the right track? Would love to hear from all of you if you've dug deeper into this topic! Seriously, any insights would be so helpful!
